I think I know a lot of useful information.

You don't.

I don't think I'm behaving irresponsibly.

You are.

Anecdotes are not data. You are not a doctor. Stop offering up medical "advice".

This is the third personal attack in a row that you've posted and the fifth in the last day. We ban accounts that post like that. Please step away.

It's not intended as a personal attack.

You cannot cough your way to health here. Eating onions will not protect you from SARS-CoV-2.

Why is Hacker News okay with spreading falsehoods as medical advice? That's reckless at the best of times.

I'm sure it's true that it's not intended that way, but it's coming across that way, especially when you do it 5 times. Please don't hound anyone like that on HN.

Which doesn't address why HN is teetering on practicing medicine without a license with some of these comments.
